for the half-famished pirates. for the buc-
cananeers were never more at home than
in the slaughter OF cattle.
Then they marched toward the city.
Three hours more fighting and they were
in the streets, bowling, yelling, plumber
ing, gorging, dram-drinking, and
giving tull vent to all the vile and name
less lust that burned in their hearts like u
hell of fire. And now followed the usual
sequence OF events-rapine, cruelty, and
extortion only this time there was no
town to ransom, for Morgan had
given orders that it should be des
troyed. The torch was set to il and
Panama, one of the greatest cities in
the New World. was swept from the face
of the earth Why the deed was done, no
man but Morgan could tell Perhaps it
was that all the secret hiding places for
treasure might be brought to light but
whatever the reason was, it lay hidden in
the breast of the great buccaneer himself
For three weeks Morgan and his men abid
marched away with one hundred and
seventy-fve beasts of burden loaded with
treasures of gold and silver and Jewels,
besides great quantities of merchandise,
and six hundred prisoners held for ran
som.
Whatever became of all that vast wealth.
and what it amounted to, no man but Nor
gan ever knew, for when division was
made it was found that there was only two
hundred pieces of eight to each man
When this dividend was declared,
howl of execration went up, under which
even Captain Henry Morgan quailed. AT
night he and four other commanders
slipped their cables and ran out to sea,
and it was said that these divided the
greater part of the booty amongst them
selves. But the wealth plundered at Pan
anna could hardly have fallen short of
million and half of dollars. Computing
it at this reasonable figure, the various
prizes won by Henry Morgan in the West
Indies would stand as follows Panama,
81 800 600; Porto Bello, $500 900 Puerto
del Principe. 100000; Maracaybo and
Gibraltar, 100000 various piracies,

Morgan retired from business. honored
of all. famous BY his deeds, knighted by
the good King Charles H., and finally
appointed Governor of the rich island of
Jamaica.
Other buccaneers followed him. Cam

Cartbagena itself fell but with Henry

At Chalmette cemetery. just below New
Orleans, there are II, 81 graves, with 1914
unknown occupants. The hospitals con-
tributed full share to the known dead of
Chalmette. This cemetery covers fifteen and
a half acres and is n part of the site of the
battlefield on which jackson repulsed Pack
enham's men and saved New Orleans during
the war of 1Sl2-14, which event is duly COM
memorated on the Sth of January, every
year, by the people of the Crescent City. The
cemetery wall crosses the line of earthworks
thrown up by the Americans and on which
the cotton bales We're placed to give additional
protection from the bullets of the invaders.
The location is greatly unlike that at Vicks-
burg; here the ground is level as a floor, with
the surface Of the river above, the water kept
from submerging it and the surrounding
country and city only by mere wall Of
EARTH there the white headstones are scat
tered over hills high above the swelling
foods; here the eye sweeps up and down long
rows, twenty-four in number, each half
mile in length, in all twelve miles of graves;
in both shell roads and walks, and flower
beds and evergreens artistically arranged.
The roses and trees are fragrant ard the
heavy foliage droops as if in everlasting sor-
row; the thick leaved ambrosial live oaks,
the heavy trailing creepers of the vines, the
magnolias and myrtles, the light swaying
banners of the moss, all bending low as if in
funeral mourning. Near by the Chalmette
cemetery is the tall shaft built in 1885 by con-
gress in honor of Jackson's victory. Itshows

A Buccaneer of the Sixteenth Century.

The greatest of all the buccaneers, he
who stands pre-eminent amongst them,
and whose name even to this day is a
charm TO call up his deeds of daring, his
dauntless courage, has truculent cruelty,
and his insatiate and indispensable lust
for gold, was Capt. Henry Morgan, the
bold Welshman, who brought buccaneer-
ing to the height and flower of its glory.
Having sold himself. after the manner
of the times. for his passage across the
seas. he worked out his time of servitude
at the Barbados. As soon as he had re-
gained his liberty he entered upon the
trade OF piracy. wherein he soon reached
a position OF considerable prominence.
The first attempt that Capt. Henry Nor
gan ever made against any town in the
Spanish Indies was the bold descent upon
the city of Puerto del Principe in the is
land OF Cuba, with mere handful of
men. 1t was deed the boldness of which
has never been outdone by any of a like
nature-not~even the famous attack upon
Panama itself. Thence they returned to
their boats in the very face of the whole
island of Cuba. aroused and determined
upon their determination. Not only did
they make good their escape, but they
brought away with them vast amount of
plumber, computed at three hundred thou
sand pieces of eight, besides five hundred
head OF cattle and many prisoners held
for ransom.
But when the division OF all this wealth
came to be made, 10 there we're only fifty
thousand pieces OF eight to be found.
What had become of the rest no man could
tell but Capt. Henry Morgan himself.
Honesty amongst thieves was never an
axiom with him.
